History
The start of the IAA took place more than 110 years ago. In 1897, only 8 motor vehicles were exhibited to the public at the Bristol Hotel in Berlin. Due to its high visitor and exhibitor turnout, the IAA was developed into a yearly alternating exhibition of passenger cars and commercial vehicles in 1991.
The Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA Cars) is the world's most comprehensive show of the automotive industry for everybody who develops, manufactures or uses passenger cars.
